The vision of the Standards Aligned System for Mathematics is that every child across the Commonwealth will experience success with higher level coursework, thus leading to immeasurable opportunities when choosing a path after graduation.
Mathematics education is a balance of learning both content and process. The content of Mathematics specifies the "what" or the concepts, skills, and procedures of Mathematics. This information is visualized at the center of the graphic above which is summarized across the five PSSA reporting categories. These reporting categories address PA Mathematics Standards 2.1, 2.2, 2.3, 2.6, 2.7, 2.8, 2.9, 2.10 and 2.11. This information is supported in the curriculum framework through the use of Pennsylvania's Big Ideas and Concepts in Mathematics.
The process of Mathematics is the "doing" of Mathematics, that is, ways of acquiring and using content knowledge. The processes of Mathematics are addressed in the PA Mathematics Standards 2.4 and 2.5 and consist of competencies that include Problem Solving, Communication, Connections, Reasoning, and Representation. This is considered to be the critical information in the curriculum framework. Competencies relate to the actual application of the content/concepts.
